Hello In this article, we will look at what security tools you should have on your smartphone to feel safer on the Internet.
Let's start configuring it:
Great! Now download the necessary extensions:
All this is a necessary minimum for working with your phone. Even if you don't feel safe after that, you can use your left SIM card, someone else's wi-fi, and change your phone if necessary. It all depends on your goals.
VPN
The first thing that comes to mind is a VPN. And your own. Or a paid one. I don't recommend anything, but "PIA VPN" shows itself well among the paid ones.Proxy
I recommend buying a proxy on proxy6 or proxyline. You need to buy them with VPN enabled and register an account not for the main mail, it is best to use a temporary one. Ideally, buy proxies that are sold in one hand.Browser
V-o-o-t it's not so obvious, and it's much more fun. You must have a properly configured browser. Our choice falls on Firefox, because only in it extensions are available on the phone.Let's start configuring it:
- After downloading the browser, click on the three dots in the upper-right corner.
- Next, click "Add-ons".
- We get to this menu. Click on the selected line.
- We get to a page where we can search for extensions.
Great! Now download the necessary extensions:
- Cookie autodelete. I think everything is clear here, this extension automatically deletes cookies.
- Decentraleyes. Disables tracking from ads.
- Disable WebRtc. Absolutely! WebRTC is a JavaScript-based communication protocol that can leak your actual IP address by default. This addon fixes this flaw, making VPNs more efficient.
- Google analytics blocked. Ban on tracking from Google.
- NoScript. Disabling scripts. Also required.
- Privacy Badger. Tracker blocker.
- User-agent swither. Changes your user agent.
- IDN Safe. This is a browser extension that blocks internationalized domain names so that you can't visit likely fake sites.
- Privacy settings. Setting up privacy.
- FoxyProxy. You need it to work with proxies. You must add them to this extension after purchasing proxies! The setup guide can be found in Google.
All this is a necessary minimum for working with your phone. Even if you don't feel safe after that, you can use your left SIM card, someone else's wi-fi, and change your phone if necessary. It all depends on your goals.
